When I started commuting in late February I didn't set any goals. First I commuted to work once a week, now is twice. Eventually I wanted to up that to three times a week, but that's not happening this year.
But there were a lot of changes through the year:
- Went from my old dutch bike to a hardtail MTB and then customized this bike for urban riding (panniers, Kenda Kwick Trax tires, etc).
- Now I can ride on the road more confidently.
- I joined a local urban cycling club.
- I learned basic bicycle mechanics! I used to only ride my bike, now I can do some minor repairs, like fixing a flat.
I rode 1,700kms this year (wanted to make it to 2,000kms but that's not happening :v). I've set a goal of 3,000kms for next year, commuting 3x a week and ride my first hundred. If I meet my goals I'll get myself a new bike in reward
